In Northeast Nigeria, where insurgency fuels a malnutrition crisis, this book shows how strategic communication becomes a lifeline. Based on fieldwork during the Boko Haram conflict, it presents a groundbreaking analysis of Communication for Development (C4D) in action.
In the heart of Northeast Nigeria, where communities are battered by the ravages of insurgency and the collapse of essential systems, a silent yet deadly crisis unfolds: malnutrition. This book explores how strategic communication can serve as a lifeline in humanitarian emergencies, particularly where traditional interventions fall short.
Drawing on rigorous fieldwork, compelling interviews, and real-time observations during the height of the Boko Haram conflict, this book presents a groundbreaking analysis of how Communication for Development (C4D) strategies — specifically Behaviour Change Communication (BCC), Communication for Social Change (CFSC), Social Mobilisation, and Advocacy — were applied to combat malnutrition in one of the world’s most fragile contexts.
Bridging theory and practice, the book serves as both a field manual and an academic contribution. It offers invaluable lessons for communication scholars, humanitarian actors, public health practitioners, and policymakers working at the intersection of conflict, crisis communication, and sustainable development. Whether you are designing programmes for refugee camps, evaluating communication strategies in fragile states, or researching development communication, this book provides rare insight into the transformative power of C4D.
